The time of the selection exam in the afternoon after school, the selection stage will begin soon. Six students of XI A and XI B class gathered in one room, namely in XI A class to undergo selection tests in order to represent the Smart Careful race.
"Okay, these six people are all present, huh?"
"Yes, sir."
"This selection test is in the form of a test to do problems. Before we start, do you have any questions?"
Doni raised his hand.
"Yes, please Doni."
"I object to Larina sitting in the back. Sitting in the back corner like it would cause the possibility that his name is cheating."
Larina scrunched her forehead.
"When have I cheated?" inner Larina.
"Larina has a rebuttal?" ask a Math Teacher
"Nothing, sir. Then I sit on the bench next to Doni just so he's sure I'm not cheating."
"I object again, Sir!"
"Why else Doni?" Their teacher patted his head slowly.
"I don't want him sitting next to me."
"Chose, if you refuse like that means you're the one who's gonna cheat, then you don't want me to sit next to you, do you?"
"So your mouth, yeah!"
Larina sticks out her tongue mocking Doni.
"Of course, don't make a fuss. Larina sits next to Doni, not in the corner."
"Ready, sir."
Larina changed seats to the bench next to Doni.
"Are you lonely without me?"
"Pure," Doni rolled his eyes.
Larina chuckled, unintentionally glancing at Rafa on the bench near the wall behind Larina.
Rafa looked a little upset.
"I forgot that she likes Larina, "her inner self.
A piece of paper with a math problem shared, Larina glanced at Doni next to her who looked focused while calculating with formulas.
Doni glanced at Larina, their eyes met and Doni immediately threw away his face.
"Larina's doodles why are they neat?" inner Doni when accidentally saw the special paper counting Larina neat and clean without any scribbles that indicate there are errors in counting. On the paper it only contains the formula and its count directly on the answer.
Bella's jaw was hardened, her hands clenched when she saw Larina sitting next to Doni,
"The remaining 15 minutes. Focus on it, yeah,"
"Okay, sir." they answered simultaneously.
Doni occasionally glanced at Larina's exam paper, he gulped when all about Larina was done but Larina remained as if she was writing the numbers, without knowing it, Larina just wrote a sequence of numbers because she joined waiting for the end of the test time.
15 Minutes passed.
"Okay, time's up. Gather in front of your test papers."
All participants collect their papers to the front of the class.
"You can go to the cafeteria or do other activities but you can't go home because the test will be my direct score at this time."
"Good, sir."
Larina steps out of the classroom, she goes to the roof of the school. On the roof of the school he sat leaning against the wall and playing his cell phone.
He checked his social media account which began to be crowded with followers and comments from his posts that continued to flood his social media account page.
Larina photographed the clouds and uploaded them with the caption; 'I believe that no Result betrays Effort. Moreover, I am not alone, for the Lord is always with me and sees all my efforts'
"Meline!" Call Bella who shows up to the school rooftop too
"I'm not a budge, so call in a casual voice, no need for such a loud voice,"
"Be quiet. I have a lot of questions for you,"
"Yes please. But please yeah it's a face conditioned, why it looks angry like that."
"You're why, huh?" Bella stood in front of Larina,
Larina stand.
"Why? Why what? I'm okay."
"You're ganjen!"
Larina blinked her eyes a few times.
"How's ganjen?"
"Indeed you're ready for him, huh? You have no relationship whatsoever, so he's free to be close to others."
"Curtain, traitor!"
"Hey you two, why are you still here? The value will be announced." a student from XI A class followed to the roof of the school.
"Oh, okay. Thanks for the information," Larina picked up the bag and stepped off the school roof.
Bella gives a rough breath because she feels that Larina is reluctant to respond to her and feels that Larina is very different from the previous Larina.
****
In class.
"Alright, it's worth it already. Four of you will be eliminated and only two people will escape, of which two represent XI A and XI B" respectively"
"The highest score achieved by Rafa and Larina, they will represent their respective classes, Rafa represents class XI A and Larina represents class XI B, yes."
Bella held back her emotions, Doni sighed and looked at Larina with a lazy look.
"Thank you, sir." said Larina smiling.
Rafa put on a flat face but if more careful eating will look a thin smile on his lips.
"Congratulations to both of you, may you bring victory!"
Finished carrying out the selection exam, Larina rushed home. Arriving at home he was immediately treated to a pile of laundry that must be ironed.
"Later on, Mom. Larina's tired."
"Nothing later, finish it before nightfall. I have business, "Larina's mother stepped outside the house and closed the door.
Larina peeked out of the window and this time her mother went with her female friend.
"Hhuufftt," Larina sighed. He decided to take a shower first before ironing all the laundry.
Nightfall...
There was a knock on the door, though,
"That must be Dad," murmured Larina as she folded the ironed clothes.
"Son" called his father,
Larina turned her head, Larina's father was surprised to see Larina's pale face.
"Dad's home, huh? Want to eat or shower first?" Larina stood up and unplugged the ironing cable.
"You're so pale, you're sick?" Larina's father asked back.
Larina shakes.
"I'm fine, Dad."
Larina's father swept through the entire room with his gaze,
"Where's mom?"
Larina flicked her shoulders.
"You must be exhausted. Rest, let me continue this."
"But Mom will be angry," Larina put on a face.
"will not. You rest. Already eaten?"
"Already, Dad. I'm just a little sleepy."
"Well, now go to your room. Rest."
Larina nodded.
***
Larina undoes her intention when she opens the door of her room, she returns to the room where she ironed the clothes. It looks like Larina's father is ironing clothes. Larina's heart was filled, she smiled and patted her father's shoulder slowly.
"What's wrong? Didn't Dad tell you to rest?"
"We're working together, huh, Dad?" Larina smiled, without waiting for her father's approval, she immediately took a chair and sat down before his father.
"Larina's gonna fold her clothes, Dad's ironing."
Larina's father had refused but Larina also refused to rest, in the end they worked together according to advice from Larina. Sometimes Larina's father tells funny things and jokes that cause laughter between the Father and the Son.
***
At night, 21:00
Larina who felt very tired and finally she had sailed in the dreamland.
"Where are you?" ask Larina's father to his newly returned wife.
"To my friend's birthday party. Her clothes were all ironed, right?"
"Why can you do that to our son? He just got home from school and you told him to do the job,"
"You forbade me from dropping it, so yeah just accept what's going on right now. Ribet," Larina's mother stepped out of her Husband in the front room.
